Product Information

Woolsey worked as a nurse during the American Civil War (1861–1865), after which she started to write. The niece of the author and poet Gamel Woolsey, she never married, and resided at her family home in Newport, Rhode Island, until her death. lovable harum-scarum Katy Carr. Her head is full of schemes and one day she plans to do something important … Katy is my favourite female character ever. I love Katy so much. I really related to her as a 12 year old, and I always admired how her flawed character moved on to greater Godliness. I’ve always looked upon Katy as a model and still now at 20 I find her motivating and encouraging. She starts out so silly and ends up so sweet and pure. It's kind of disappointing to see how people want to compare this book to other classics. I truly believe that evey book has something different to convey so it wouldn't be fair to dislike a book only because it doesn't come down to the level of other great books. I'll concede that it's enjoyable for the first few chapters. Katy Carr is a tall, rambunctious tomboy who's constantly getting into "scrapes". Her prissy and dignified Aunt Izzy despairs of her wild, messy, nature, but her younger brothers and sisters all think she's the greatest thing ever. Katy is a writer and storyteller with zillions of great ideas, and she's the ringleader of the family, and Papa's favourite.

vanaaegne (esmilmunud 1886) ameerika tüdrukuteraamat, mis väärib lugemist juba spst, et on ameerika oma ja seega teistsugune kui näiteks inglise omad. neid on tegelikult terve sari - esimeses ("What Katy Did") on Katy 12-aastane ja läbib hoogsalt kogu isikliku arengu, mis tal meile pakkuda on; teine, "What Katy Did At School" on meeleolukas internaatkooliraamat a la "Pikkjalg-isa", kus Katy on 16 ja kus minu mäletamist mööda eriti midagi ei juhtunud; ja kolmas on siis "What Katy Did Next," mis on sarnane "Väikeste naiste" selle osaga, kus Amy Euroopas rändab, aga Katyga (kes on nüüd juba 21) ei juhtu jälle justkui midagi. Coolidge modeled Katy on her own childhood self, and the other 'Little Carrs' on her brothers and sisters. [1] The title is a play on the katydid, a family of insects – which explains the insects on the first-edition book cover.Jae Winter's review characterizes What Katy Did Next as "a travelogue written by someone who apparently hated traveling [...] England is too rainy, I don't remember the problem w/Paris but it was horrible, Italy is full of fever, and they come home early." What Katie Did" is the name of a song by the Libertines that may have been inspired by the book. The lyrics refer to the characters, e.g. "Hurry up Mrs. Brown". The group Babyshambles later released a song entitled "What Katy Did Next". Both were written by Libertines and Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty.

If you behave, your health will get better (alternatively, other things out of your control will improve). Katy’s sister, Clover, is next in age to her. The two girls both go to a nearby school where they manage to get into quite a lot of mischief. The other children are Elsie, Dorry the eldest boy, Joanna, and little Phil, who is the baby of the family. Katy is kind to her younger siblings, but dreams of doing something “grand” with her life one day. Perhaps she will paint famous pictures, or save the lives of drowning people, or lead a crusade on a white horse. She also wants to be: “beautiful, of course, and good if I can.”Quite an accurate summary! I think Susan Coolidge did like traveling, though -- I read all the miseries in this book as partly realism, partly warning her (wealthy young American) readers not to expect their own European tours to be completely comfortable. But she liked traveling for the same reasons Katy does -- seeing picturesque new sights, meeting places previously known from books, and perhaps a bit of shopping (presents for friends of course!). A character named Katy Carr appears in the first volume of Alan Moore's graphic novel The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. As Katy beats a student at Ms Coote's school, the headmistress says she believes in the "School of Pain". Keluarga Carr merawat si kecil Amy sementara ibunya, Mrs Ashe merawat ponakan kecilnya yg sakit. Setelah sang ponakan pergi, Mrs Ashe merasa ingin ganti suasana. Dia mengajak Katy yg sudah berusia 21 thn ikut jalan-jalan bersamanya dan Amy ke Eropa selama setahun! Dr Carr setuju setelah melalui banyak pertimbangan. This article does not cite any sources.
